[LAU] codecs vs patents

[Patrick Shirkey]

Hi,

Just spotted this in the wild.

Food for thought re the looming VP8 patent battle.

Microsoft just got Nokia and will do their best to take out MeeGo and all
the support for open source that Nokia currently embraces. We certainly
don't need them to take out html5 video too.

Reading through it's typical of Microsoft though. The only thing we can
guarantee from that bunch of crooks is that they cheat, lie and steal. At
least they are consistent ;-)
